2022 MotoE World Cup



The 2022 MotoE World Cup (known officially as the 2022 FIM Enel MotoE World Cup for sponsorship reasons) was the fourth season of the MotoE World Cup for electric motorcycle racing, and was a support series of the 74th F.I.M. Grand Prix motorcycle racing season.

This was the last season of Energica being the sole supplier of the World Cup as they withdrew from the Cup after the season, with Ducati taking their place as the new sole manufacturer starting 2023.

Dominique Aegerter clinched the championship after a crash from Eric Granado during race 1 in Misano, his first MotoE crown.

Calendar
The following Grands Prix took place in 2022:

Calendar changes

 * The Finnish Grand Prix scheduled for July was cancelled in May due to incomplete homologation works and the risks associated with the geopolitical situation in the region.
 * The Austrian Grand Prix used a new layout of the Red Bull Ring, wherein a chicane was added to the previous fast slight-left hander of turn 2. This was done to improve the overall safety of the track by greatly minimizing the speed the riders take the turn. The final configuration was chosen among 15 proposals, with the track being 30 meters longer than the previous configurations.

Cup standings
Points were awarded to the top fifteen finishers. A rider had to finish the race to earn points.
 * Scoring system


 * ‡ – Half points were awarded during race 2 of the Dutch TT as less than two-thirds of the scheduled race distance (but at least three full laps) was completed.
